Not anyone, no. From an information theory standpoint, that it's possible at all to complete these 700 bits, only implies that anyone logically omniscient could. It's entirely possible that an LLM is capable enough to infer these 700 bits, and the human reader isn't.

Right but where is this information coming from, it can't come from the sender because an idea that can be conveyed in 300 bits cannot contain 1000 bits of information. You're just using the LLM to translate the idea into something more legible.

Alternatively those 700 bits are information the LLM added, but where is that information coming from? Is it noise? Random facts? Random lies? And who is the receiver even talking with if most of what they read is something the sender didn't know?
